"Have a wonderful summer!" My chemistry teacher shouted to my class as I ran out the door. I smiled as I walked towards my car after exiting my school. Crystal wasn't in school today, and I didn't want to walk to school nor work, so I just took Mason and I's car again.

        I took a right turn out of the school parking lot while my smile stayed glued to my face. I had a weird feeling that today was going to be a very good day. All I wanted was to get work over with so I can spend the rest of this day with Harry.

        After driving for a good ten minutes, I turned into the diner parking lot before parking in my normal space. I then took the keys out of the ignition before walking straight into the tiny restaurant.  

"Faith, somebody is here to see you." Maggie said to me, not even giving me time to put my apron on. I raised my eyebrow and turned my head to where she was looking.

"Hey brownie." I raised my eyebrow at his nickname.

"Brownie?" He nodded his head, causing his curly hair to bounce. "Why are you calling me brownie?" I asked.

"Because of your brown hair and brown eyes. They remind me of brownies." He bit his lip. "The color of it at least." I let out a laugh.

"That makes sense." I paused and analyzed him. "If you get to make up a nickname for me, then I have to make one up for you."

"That's fair." He squinted his green eyes. "What are you going to call me?" I bit my lip while tapping my chin as I thought about it.

"Curly." He raised his eyebrow.

"Curly?" I nodded.

"Because of your curly hair." I told him as I pushed a strand of it out of his face. I then pulled my hand away quickly once I felt his body tense up at my touch. "Anyways," I let out a breath. "What are you doing here?" He bit his lip.

"I just wanted to see you." I looked at him in confusion.

"But you're seeing me tonight." He shrugged.

"I know, but I was in the area so I thought I would stop by." This made me smile.

"Well that's very sweet of you, curly." I winked at him before grabbing my apron and wrapping it around my waist. He nodded his head with a smile.

"I'm going to go, I'll pick you up at five, okay?" I nodded my head.

"Got it." I gave him a thumbs up before taking my pad and pen from Maggie and waving good bye to him. I looked back up at Maggie once he was gone to see her smiling like an idiot at me. "What?" I snapped.

"You like him!" She cheered. I rolled my eyes.

"I do not," I let out a sarcastic laugh. "I barely know the guy." Maggie rolled her eyes.

"That doesn't matter. I can just see it in your eyes." This time, I rolled my eyes.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Before she could reply, I walked off. I do not like him.

***************************************************************

"Hi Faith!" Paige cheered as I picked her and Lily up from school. "I didn't know you were picking us up in the car." She said as they sat in the back seat.

"I didn't want to walk today." They nodded.

"Makes sense." Lily piped in as I pulled out of their school parking lot, before heading over to Gia's school.

        It took me about five minutes to get there and as we drove, I couldn't help but smile like an idiot because I just couldn't stop thinking about Harry.

"Earth to Faith." I noticed somebody waving their hands in front of my face. I shook my head and broke myself out of my thoughts.

"Huh?" I looked to my right to see Gia. She let out a laugh.

"Why are you so happy today?" I shrugged.

"I'm just in a good mood." Gia rolled her eyes.

"Please," She stared into my eyes. "You and I both know that's not true." I stared at her with a blank face.

"Shut up and buckle."

***************************************************

        I was in my bedroom, getting ready to meet up with Harry and I was surprisingly nervous. I honestly don't know why and I couldn't figure out what to wear. It was stressing me out. My palms were sweaty and I could practically feel the butterflies hitting the walls of my stomach. Why am I so nervous?

"Faith!" I heard Lily calling my name. "Somebody's at the door for you!" Are you kidding me? I'm not even dressed!

"Okay! I will be down in a minute!" This is going to suck.

Harry's POV

"She will be down in a minute." Faith's little sister told me. I nodded my head. "You can come inside, if you would like." I nodded my head with a smile before walking into their house.

"Thank you."

"Lily, who is at the door?" Another girl asked from a far. Before Lily could respond, a tiny girl walked into the room. A huge smile grew on her face once she saw me. "Hello." She giggled. I gave her a little wave.

"Hi." She bit her lip and twirled her arms back and forth. She looked a lot like Faith, but smaller.

"I'm Paige." I smiled at her before bending down to meet her height.

"I'm Harry and its very nice to meet you." She let out another giggle after I introduced myself.

"Harry?" I nodded. "Are you Faith's boyfriend?" I could practically feel the heat on my cheeks rise once she said that. I gave a slight shook of my head, causing her to frown.

"No, we're just friends."

"Oh." She let out a breath before looking at the ground. "Do you like her at least?" This question got me thinking. Did I like her? I mean, I know I just met her and all, but I definitely feel something special when I'm with her.


"I'm really not sure. We're getting to know each other today." I told Paige.

"Well, if you end up liking her, will you promise to tell me?" I gave her a confident smile with a nod.

"Yes, I promise." She was about to reply until somebody else entered the room.

"Sorry I took so long. I just couldn't figure out what to wear." My breath was taken away once I looked up. Faith looked gorgeous. I have never seen anybody as beautiful as her. Her brown hair flowed perfectly into curls as her eyes sparkled in the light. Her outfit looked just right on her curvy body. I couldn't find my words to speak.

"You look so pretty, Faith!" Paige cheered. I cleared my throat.

"Correction, she looks gorgeous." This made Faith blush a deep shade of red.

"Thanks." She pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Are you ready?" I asked, giving her my arm so she could slip hers into it. She nodded and smiled at me.

"You two better be on your best behavior for Gia." She told her sisters. They both nodded and waved goodbye to us before we exited her house.

"You're sisters are nice." I told Faith as I opened the car door for her. She thanked me before getting in. I then jogged to the other side before getting in and starting it up.

"They're a handful though." She said in reply to me. I let out a laugh.

"They're cute." She looked at me as I pulled out of the drive in.

"Lily and Paige are, but Gia isn't." I raised my eyebrow.

"I don't think I met Gia." She shook her head.

"You didn't. She was taking a nap." She paused. "She is a snob." I let out a small laugh.

"I'm sure she isn't that bad."

"You're only saying that because you don't know her." Faith informed me. I shrugged.

"This may be true, but if she is anything like you, she is defiantly not a snob." I noticed the blush on her face grow.

"I'm taking that as a compliment."

"It was meant to be one." I winked at her as we came to a red light.

"So where are we going?" She asked. I shrugged.

"You tell me. You live here." She tapped her chin.

"Do you like frozen yogurt?" I nodded.

"Love it." This made her get excited.

"Then I know the perfect place! Just take a left here." She pointed to a road. I did as I was told once the light turned green. "Now take a right here." She pointed to another road. I did what she said once again. "Turn into this plaza and we're here." She said to me. I turned into the plaza before parking and taking the keys out of the ignition. I then got out and jogged to Faith's side to open the door for her. "Thank you." She gave me a bright smile. I nodded my head before wrapping my arm around her shoulder and walking into the frozen yogurt place, also known as Flower's. 

        The bell rang once we walked through the door and right away, we found a table to sit at. You served yourself in this place and I was really excited for the toppings.

"Lets go." Faith said, grabbing my hand and pulling me over to the different flavors of yogurt. I felt a tiny shock go through my body once our hands connected and I kind of liked it. 
        
        We both analyzed the different flavors until she decided on coconut and I decided on banana. We then grabbed cups and filled up each before going to the toppings bar. I put all different chocolate candy bars on top of mine while she put gummy bears and caramel sauce on hers. We then went to the cash register to pay and once she took out her money, I pushed it away and handed the lady my credit card.

"Harry, you didn't have to do that." I shook my head and smiled at her.

"I wanted to." I told her before handing her, her yogurt. We then sat back down at our table before digging in. "This is so good." I murmured. She let out a laugh.

"I told you." She said to me. I bit my lip then as I noticed some yogurt on the corner of her mouth.

"You have some yogurt on your mouth." She blushed of embarrassment once I said that before grabbing a napkin and wiping the wrong area. "Let me get it." I told her before wiping it off with my thumb. As I did that, our eyes connected and I could just feel myself moving in. Somehow this felt wrong, but so right at the same time. Our lips were just about to connect until she pulled away, looking at the ground.

"Thanks." She said before taking another bite of yogurt. I bit my lip and pulled myself back before taking a bite of my own. "Harry?" I looked up at her.

"Yeah?"

"When you asked me out yesterday, you meant to hang out as friends, right?" I bit my lip before nodding my head.

"Right." That's a lie. She let out a sigh of relief.

"Good, because when you said it was a date, I got nervous." I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

"Why?" She shrugged.

"Because we just met and I'm not really looking for a relationship right now." I nodded.

"That's funny, neither am I." That's the second lie I told today. She smiled.

"Good, now lets go have some fun."
